It's an excuse to make noise, to feel self important. The people want the trappings of power, they do not want actual power. Actual power means responsibility, with that comes consequences. Can't have those. No sir.

Reminds me of a video I found of Frank Zappa on Crossfire back in the '80s. Some liberal is all over his case about the atrocities he presents in his music and that the 1st amendment does not protect Zappa's right to corrupt innocent children. Zappa fires back, Yes it does, it's called free speech because there are no restrictions. So the liberal says, Well who established that rule? Zappa says, The government, obviously. The liberal says, Well who is the government? It's us! WE THE PEOPLE decide our rules. Zappa is openly scoffing at this point. The video is a delight.

I think in a healthy society that shares decent communal values, a will of the people indeed exists. Would there not be a common drive to maintain such a society? Would there not be a 'will' to preserve that world, while encouraging development in areas of interest (sciences, math, medicine, food, philosophy, etc)?

Of course, the US is nowhere near what I've described. As it is the phrase is just empty words with any meaning it may have had absent. Most people don't even know why they vote; and if they do its mostly due to the things that candidates do during their campaign.

A study published online in September in the American Journal of Medicine -- cleverly titled "The Autopsy of Chicken Nuggets Reads 'Chicken Little'" - revealed that two nuggets from fast food chains in Jackson, Miss. contained only about half of what we would consider chicken meat.

"We all know white chicken meat to be one of the best sources of lean protein available and encourage our patients to eat it," lead author Dr. Richard D. deShazo of the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson, said to Reuters. "What has happened is that some companies have chosen to use an artificial mixture of chicken parts rather than low-fat chicken white meat, batter it up and fry it and still call it chicken."
